City staff said the amendments revise Chapter 24 of the City of Live Oak Code of Ordinances. One change removes direct property‑owner notification for zoning ordinance amendments that are not specific to a particular property and instead relies on newspaper advertisement consistent with state law. The other change adds a site‑plan approval step to the city's development review process. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the council approve the changes on April 22 by vote of 4–0, with minor grammatical fixes.

The ordinance presented to council amends Chapter 24, Article 7 (Administration and Procedures), sections 134 and 136, and was scheduled to take effect June 1.

\"This is consistent with state law requirements,\" a planning staff member said when describing the notification change.

A motion to approve the ordinance passed 5–0.

City staff reported total revenues of $10,632,019 and total expenditures of $7,900,000 through Feb. 28, leaving a net gain of about $2.6 million and a general fund balance of $17,058,748. Staff said property-tax collections are at roughly 92 percent of budget while sales tax receipts — the city’s largest revenue source — are running about 45 percent of budget and were 7.89 percent higher for the October 2024–January 2025 remittance period compared with the same months a year earlier. The capital projects (2022 street) bond fund balance was reported at about $4.4 million.

\"As of the report date, total revenues recorded through February 28 is 10,632,019. Total expenditures for the same period is 7,900,000,\" a finance staff member told the council.

Staff said enterprise funds were generally on target: the utility fund showed revenues near 42 percent of budget and expenditures near 46 percent (noting timing of Edwards Aquifer Authority charges and lease payments), while the stormwater fund showed revenues near 40 percent and expenditures near 29 percent, with a $200,000 contingency reserved for potential flood-related repairs.

In a preview of the 2025–26 budget, staff explained the city intends a conservative approach, aiming to maintain current service levels and to use part of the city’s fund balance (previously noted as about 11.5 months of reserves in last year’s audit) to finance one‑time capital projects rather than recurring expenses. Staff said they do not anticipate adding full‑time positions in the coming budget cycle unless a clearly justified need arises.

Key dates for the budget process noted to the council include department requests due May 19; placement of a working draft to council by late June; a budget workshop on July 22 (with a possible follow-up July 29 if needed); certification and tax-rate calculation steps with Bexar County in late July; and a public hearing on the final budget on Aug. 26, with adoption and any tax-rate action scheduled for the Sept. 9 council meeting.

Council members thanked staff for the presentation and for the city’s fiscal stewardship.

Votes at the meeting: the motion to accept the monthly financial report passed 5–0.","Council approved the financial report for the period ending Feb. 28, 2025, and staff previewed a conservative 2025–26 budget approach that may use fund balance for one-time capital costs while keeping recurring services steady.","actionData","errors"]
